Sensex soars

The Sensex crossing the 10,000-point mark is indeed occasion for celebration for the people in industry and economy. More heartening than the magic figure is the new resilience Sensex has achieved. We still remember how trivial issues used to rock the stock market. Not any more. Business in India has become serious. That this surge was brought about mainly by FII inflows highlights the confidence foreign investors have in India.

The new high is a good sign for India. It will boost the confidence of not only the Indian investor but also foreign investors. It is hoped the common man's faith in investment will also be restored in due course.

Does the 10,000-mark make sense to the millions who go to bed hungry? The poor continue to struggle and keep their fingers crossed for next day's meal. If a Sensex boom is an economic indicator, I wonder why the poor continue to be poor.

Sensex crossing 10,000 points is a hard nut to crack for a layman like me. Does it bring down the prices of essential commodities or is it another pointer to the rich becoming richer and the poor becoming poorer symptom?
